You need to escape the '{ characters in String.Format:

string.Format( "{{Find Name='{0}'}}", name )

See the following for more details:

How to escape braces (curly brackets) in a format string in .NET

Curly braces have a special meaning in formatting strings, and thus need to be escaped. Simply double the literal braces from { to {{ and } to }}:

string.Format("{{Find Name='{0}'}}", name)

try string.Format("Find Name='{0}'", name)

or try string.Format("{{Find Name='{0}'}}", name)

it should be "{{ Find Name = {0} }}"

I think it should be:

string.Format("Find Name='{0}'", name);
